About

Hi there 👋

I'm Karthik Puvvada, often called 'KP' by friends and my audience on the Internet.

I’m a 5x founder, podcast host, angel investor, advisor, coach and a leader of the "build in public" movement — that is taking the internet by storm.

Currently, I am leading Founder Relations at Paddle helping create and run founder-facing educational and community programs. Here’s my full bio.

KP’s column is a weekly newsletter to help founders grow their businesses through building in public, creating helpful content and building highly engaging communities. Join 7000+ founders & professionals from top startups like Webflow, Paddle, Stripe, Substack and more.

What people are saying:
